CORRECTION – In the March 8 edition of the Siskiyou Daily News, it was incorrectly reported that Dennis Greenman's charge of hit and run is a misdemeanor. He was charged with a felony count of hit and run.

He was eligible for bail prior to arraignment because his probation violation charge was a misdemeanor.

The Daily News apologizes for this error.

MOUNT SHASTA – The Mount Shasta Police Department (MSPD) has made an arrest in the Feb. 23 hit-and-run case that left 24-year-old Mount Shasta resident Gabe Cashman with serious injuries.

On Tuesday, the MSPD apprehended Dennis Mark Greenman, 42, of Grenada, on a charge of hit and run causing death or injury. Greenman was on probation, so he was also charged with probation violation.

According to MSPD Sgt. Joe Restine, the department received an anonymous tip that Greenman suspiciously moved his vehicle to the back of his house.

"We checked into Mr. Greenman's history and he has a history of similar activity," said Restine.

The MSPD conducted a probation check and examined the vehicle.

"We have significant evidence pointing toward that as being the vehicle that was at the scene," said Restine.

Greenman was booked in the county jail on $15,000 bail. He was eligible for bail because his violation of probation charge was a misdemeanor. He posted bail and has been released.

He is scheduled to appear in the Siskiyou County Superior Court on March 27 for his arraignment.

According to online Siskiyou County court documents, Greenman has previously been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving on a suspended license and speeding.

Last May, he was charged with willful harm or injury to a child, cruelty to a child, battery on a person, threatening a crime with intent to terrorize and exhibiting a deadly weapon. He was on probation at the time he allegedly committed the hit and run.

Restine stated that on the night of Feb. 23, Cashman was discovered unconscious in the westbound lane in the 500 block of McCloud Avenue by a passing motorist.

"When rescue personnel arrived, Mr. Cashman was taking approximately one breath every three seconds and his body was making gurgling noises," said Restine. "When officers first arrived on scene, they thought he was dead. It is a heinous thing to leave somebody in the road like that."

Restine noted that there was evidence at the scene that Cashman's body was dragged 30 feet by the vehicle, and when he was discovered, he had a tire track across his abdomen.

Cashman was transported by air ambulance to Mercy Medical Center in Redding.

He is being treated for back and head injuries, a broken leg and a punctured lung. He has had multiple surgeries and he is undergoing physical therapy.
